Last night was a special night for all those associated with and fans of the CWC Lady Bulldog volleyball team.

The Lady Bulldogs defeated Johnston City in two sets, then the celebration was on as Jason Craig, head coach of the team, picked up his 100th win as coach of the team.

The varsity girls were a perfect 54 of 54 from the service line as they defeated the Lady Indians, 25-12, 25-20. The junior varsity girls also won earlier in the evening with a pair of 25-21 set wins.

Scoring in the win for the varsity were Briley Attebury with eight points, a dig and three kills, Kelsey Rogers with five points, four aces, one assist, three digs and a kill, Bailey Winters with four points, three aces, nine assists and three digs, Cammie Francis with five points, an ace and three digs, Laura Potter with three points, an ace, an assist, five digs and two kills, Jessica Woods with three points, two assists and a dig, Peighton Parks with two points and six assists, JoBeth Blake with a dig and five kills, Kaylea Chappelle with two digs, 12 kills and a block and Lixi Wheeler with a dig, two kills and five blocks.

Scoring for the junior varsity were Woods with six points, an ace, six assists, a dig and two kills, Paige Winter with four points, an ace, an assist, four digs, five kills and two blocks, Graci Ackerman with a point, three digs and three kills, Maggi Ackerman with seven points, two aces, 12 assists, two digs and four kills, Karen Kays with a point and a dig, Emily Mahon with five points, two aces, an assist and a dig, Morgan Combs with two digs and eight kills and Ashtyn Cowling with a dig and a kill.

The team presented Craig with a cake after the game to celebrate his accomplishment. Craig was quick to focus his success to the girls.

“This accomplishment is all about the girls on this team,” said Craig. “When I came here nine years ago we knew softball was number one and girls basketball was a close second, but we wanted to build a good volleyball program here too. We have had success in that over the past years and Penny (Barton) and Amy Craig have done a great job building what we have from the middle school level up. I have been extremely proud of how this team has played this year. I am really speechless about everything, this team is going to hold a really special spot in my heart.”

The girls will shoot for number 101 on Tuesday in a tough matchup at Hamilton Co.
